>>>From: Samrah [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I know I need Brenda's book, but as I am just starting the book list is really long. How does Brok 36/2 compare to Brokman's 35/3? I know we are dealing with 2 ply vs. 3 ply, but are they close in size?<<<
As a general rule (within cotton, or within linen, etc.), x/3 is half again the thickness of x/2. The upper number indicates the diameter of each ply and the lower number is the number of plies. So each ply of 36/2 and 35/3 are the same thickness but there are half-again as many plies in the latter. It's harder to compare different fibers because the measure for linen is different for the measure for cotton. So linen 36/2 is much heavier than cotton 36/2. Robin P.
